The Holidays!

Wow it has been a busy few months, I can't believe it is already January. Well Christmas was lots of fun. Kaden and Chloe both had a blast opening presents. Chloe didn't really know what was going on but she still did a great job ripping into the packages and she loved the surprises inside. Kaden wanted to play with everything, he even got excited about the clothes. The first present he opened was a pair of pants and when he saw them he said excitedly "oh! pants!" We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with Dereks Mom and family and they loved having the kids there. Then we went to My mom and dads house for Christmas dinner and they got to open more presents, they were so excited they just couldn't believe there was more.












Just 4 days after Christmas we got to have a birthday party for Kaden. He was so thrilled! More presents! He still didn't dive into his cake but at least this year he ate some of it. He was more excited about the candles.





He got a toy box from Aunt Chelsi and Uncle Kacey and all the kids had fun with that one.



Well to update a little on the family, I am working at two jobs, I work at the front desk at the Clearfield Aquatic Center, and in the production department for a company that builds and sells wireless routers. I really like both jobs but wish I could be home more. Derek still works for the same old company but is in search of a new and better experience. He has an interview with a really great opportunity on Tuesday, I hope everything goes well, then maybe I can be home more! Kaden is talking and learning more everyday, I can't believe how big he looks now. He is getting into movies now, his favorite and only one he will sit all the way through is "Cars" He also loves "Incredibles" or as he calls it "Inbobadus" but will only watch it for like 10 min and then ask for cars. Chloe is moving around like crazy, she doesn't really have an intrest in walking though but is already trying to reapeat words that you say and she mimics sounds really well. Her favorite is "HI" Well Kaden is asking for food so I guess it is dinner time.
